MetaTrader EA Guide

Connect MT4/MT5 via EA

If you choose the EA path for MetaTrader, the setup is more hands-on than the API path. You need the terminal running, the EA attached to a chart, local WebRequest enabled, and the account showing connected back in the app.

Open Trading AccountsOpen EA checklist

Start the EA path from the app

  1. Open Trading Accounts.
  2. Click Add Account.
  3. Choose MT4 or MT5.
  4. Select the EA path instead of the API path.

What the EA path requires

  • One MetaTrader terminal per account.
  • The EA must stay installed and running.
  • MetaTrader must remain open and healthy while you want copying.
  • WebRequest to http://127.0.0.1 must be allowed.

MetaTrader-side basics

  • Turn on AutoTrading in MT4 or Algo Trading in MT5.
  • Attach the EA to a chart and confirm it is actually running.
  • Keep the terminal logged in and receiving data.

How to verify

  1. Return to Trading Accounts and confirm the account shows connected.
  2. Create one small copier link.
  3. Place one tiny test trade and verify in Logs.
